Project Management

Description

Project management (PM) is the practice of planning and managing projects, from start to finish. It involves the coordination of all the activities and resources you need to meet deadlines and achieve your desired project outcome.

Project management is critical because it provides the leadership, motivation, and problem-solving that enable teams to introduce new products or services, grow revenue, and meet company goals. If you prioritize effective project management styles, you can proactively and continuously improve workflows to avoid any mistakes or overspending.

Project management is aimed at producing an end product that will effect some change for the benefit of the organisation that instigated the project.

Projects are separate from ‘Business-as-usual’ activities and occur when an organisation wants to deliver a solution to set requirements within an agreed budget and timeframe. Projects require a team of people to come together temporarily to focus on specific project objectives. As a result, effective teamwork is central to successful projects.
